Figured how to put the anchor rode and chain in a cloth cooler in the little area forward of the v berth. It works nicely. The little cooler isn't waterproof but makes a nice filter for any gunk that gets on the chain so it won't flow into the bilge. Attached it with a couple of bolts to the interior fiberglass and zip ties to the underside of the forestay. I'll clean the bag out periodically and replace it when it gets too moldy.
